- AWeb 1.0
- ========
-
-
- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- AWeb is a totally new World Wide Web browser for the Amiga computer.
-
- It offers the following features:
-
- o AWeb doesn't use Magical User Interface (MUI). It uses BOOPSI classes
- instead, which results in less memory usage and increased speed. The
- BOOPSI classes are partially custom designed for AWeb, and partially
- from the ClassAct kit.
-
- o AWeb can use AmiTCP/IP, I-Net225 or AS-225 as its TCP stack. Without
- TCP stack running, you can still view local files.
-
- o AWeb uses extensive internal multitasking, which leads to total
- asynchroneous and parallel network access. Images are starting to load
- while the document is still loading. It is possible to follow a link
- while the previous document is still loading. A separate network status
- window shows all pending network and local file accesses. All network
- accesses can be interrupted immediately.
-
- o The HTML-2 standard is fully supported, including forms. For buggy
- pages not conforming to the standard, AWeb offers a compatibility mode.
-
- o AWeb supports the use of proxies for HTTP, FTP, Gopher and Telnet.
- Because some proxies can't handle forms or other special cases, the use
- of proxies can be temporarily disabled from the menu.
-
- o The HTTP and Gopher protocols are supported internally. By using
- external programs, FTP and Mailto can be used too. HTTP user
- authorization is supported.
-
- o AWeb lets you load all images, delay all image loading, or load only
- clickable maps and delay other images. For delayed images, the ALT text
- is taken into account. Transparent GIFs are supported. The 24-bit picture
- datatype (picturedtV43) is supported.
-
- o To improve network speed, host names and network addresses are cached
- so addresses are looked up only once during a session.
-
- o AWeb can open it's windows on the default public screen, on a named
- public screen or open its own screen.
-
- o In extension to its own hotlist, AWeb can read the hotlists of
- AMosaic and IBrowse.
-
- o An advanced settings requester is integrated in the program.
-
- o AWeb has an ARexx interface, and a unique and powerful shell command
- interface.
-
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- ------------
-
- AWeb needs:
- o OS 3.0 or better
- o At least 2MB of memory, preferably more
- o Either AmiTCP/IP, I-Net225 or AS-225 if you want to access the Internet
- o Appropriate picture datatypes (GIF, JPEG) to show inlined images
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
-
- To install AWeb, just double-click the Install icon.
-
- If you want to try AWeb before a permanent installation, make sure to
- double-click the "MakeAssign" icon first. It makes the necessary assigns
- that AWeb needs to find the ClassAct classes.
